Not sure all the requirements but she will need a boat. They don't have many girls on the team so she will most likely stand out.

HAHA I completely read the title wrong and confused "redecking" with REDNECKING. Rednecking a Bass Tracker sounds like an oxymoron

If anyone was wondering (not that i expect any of yall to wonder) I am still alive and the tracker is still a project. The COVID boogeyman hasnt got me yet! Hopefully ill get back on it sooner than later. My daughter wants to join the High School Bass Fishing team and they are required to...

Wow! life comes at you fast........ I haven't abandoned the project. We sold our house for a ridiculous profit and are trying to rehab a double wide to live in until we start building the permanent home on 24 acres. that seems to be taking all my time but rest assured i will finish this and...

Realized I haven't posted an update in quite a while. Sent my wood transom that i made too thick over to my metal fabricator that I work with all the time. He had some 1/4" Aluminum Plate and some 3/4" square tube scraps at his shop so I asked him to make me an all aluminum transom frame with...

Don't know if it was the glue or the wood was mislabeled at Lowes but my new transom wood is thicker than 1-1/4" after gluing two sheets together. I have my epoxy to coat but i dont know if it will fit. I have a metal fabricator that does a lot of work for me that has some 1/4" aluminum...

I've been going back and forth about replacing the transom with plywood or going back with an aluminum frame. The existing wood is 1-1/4" so I bought a sheet of 5/8" CD exterior plywood from Lowe's. I did my math several times and checked is several more. Nominal 5/8" plywood is actually...

Finally got some time to get the transom wood out. It came out in one piece but was soft in places.

Cut the splashwell/transom cap yesterday. Like a complete dumbass I cut way too deep into the gunnel. Guess I’ll have some patching to do. Any ideas on how to fill the gap? I have some brazing rods I planned on using to fill the 250 screw holes the previous owner was kind enough to leave...

Going to work on the layout this weekend by making a mock up of the center console. Thanks to Ebug for sending me the CAD plans he used for his build which is similar! Im constantly looking for a good used reliable motor if anyone knows of one in GA for sale. Hull is rated for 80hp max so...

Not much progress on the boat so far. Just been steady tearing it down and scraping off carpet and glue. I've changed my plan 100 times since i bought the boat. :LOL2: Latest plan is to convert to a Center Console and set it up like my Seapro 208 Bay as much as I can with the space...

There is a small dent in the gunwale cap and I,m not sure how to repair it. Any suggestions?

I started tearing everything down and it seems like its in relatively good shape. The foam was the worst!! completely saturated and smelled like gasoline and death. Took three full days to get it all out.

Brand New Member, Been a lurker for years. Recently bought an 88 Tracker TXS 17ft with a trailer for $600 (no motor) and just started tearing it down to build back to its former glory. My original plan was to make it an electric only reservoir boat but after seeing all the rebuilds on here of...
